Lucent Orinoco WaveLan SIlver PCMCIA WFW 3.11 Drivers

  • 0

Hi,

I have a Compaq Armada 7730MT running Windows 3.11, and I want to run my Lucent Orinoco Wavelan SIlver PCMCIA card so I can go online with it. I really need the drivers for WFW and some instructions on how to set them up.

Thank you

    1. I did a little research online and it seems none of the manufacturers of wireless cards bothered to write 16-bit drivers for wireless cards. If they did they are DOS only.

      I suspect the reasoning is: wireless PCMCIA cards starting coming of age around 2001. By that time most people were off of Windows 3.x and were on Windows 95. If you were still running it then, you were probably also on dial-up or TCP/IP, and there were probably not many people clamoring for the “latest” in wireless technology on a decade-old OS.

      It seems that at the minimum you need OS that contains at least some 32-bit code such as Windows 95.
